_After each KU basketball game this season, this is where you can find out the basketball equivalent of The Nielsen Ratings from Journal-World sports editor Tom Keegan. He’ll rate the Jayhawks’ individual performances from top to bottom, telling you who was worth tuning in to watch and who has seen better days. If you agree or maybe even differ, make sure to comment and tell Tom how you really feel._**1. Brandon Rush**: Scored 12 first half points in a span of 6:22. His textbook jumper never has looked better and the same can be said for his all-around game. He led the team with 20 points and eight rebounds. **2. Julian Wright**: Scored the game’s first six points and the team’s first eight points and even hit a three-pointer. According to Rush, Wright told teammates in the hotel before the game that he was going to “come out in beast mode,” and he did. However, he finished the game as a spectator, watching the final 9:09 from the bench after his errant no-look pass resulted in a dunk at the other end. **3. Russell Robinson**: Kept the ball moving, made the right passes at the right times, played typically strong defense and drove aggressively to the hoop. Had a little bit of everything, all good, on his stat line: nine points, six rebounds, four assists, two blocked shots and three steals. Exhibited jumping ability that rarely is on display when he was called for offensive goaltending. **4. Darrell Arthur**: Broke out of his slump in a big way, contributing 12 points and seven rebounds in 17 minutes. Exploited Nebraska’s size disadvantage by patiently attacking. Came away with four offensive rebounds.**5. Mario Chalmers**: Hit the boards hard with six rebounds and, as usual, handled the ball well on the fastbreak.**6. Sherron Collins**: Made some nice passes, kept the break moving at breakneck speed and mixed in nine points in 26 minutes. **7. Darnell Jackson**: Went scoreless, but did contribute four rebounds in 18 minutes. **8. Sasha Kaun**: Couldn’t make the easy shots drop, was 0-for-5, and had one rebound in 12 minutes. **9. Jeremy Case**: As always, kept the ball moving in his two minutes on the floor. **10. Brady Morningstar**: Misfired on his only shot, committed a personal foul and turned the ball over in three minutes. Did have a couple of nice passes that were not converted into hoops. **11. Matt Kleinmann**: Picked up two boards in two minutes. **12. Brennan Bechard**: He played and fellow walk-on Brad Witherspoon did not. If your depth chart goes that deep, make a note of that. **13. Rodrick Stewart**: Went for a poster and ended up with some bench. Was whistled for an offensive foul when he tried to dunk over his man. He immediately was removed from the game with less than a minute remaining.**The Keegan Ratings: Season Standings (total points and average rank)** **1.** Brandon Rush (70, 22 games) 3.18 **2.** Mario Chalmers (76, 22 games) 3.45 **3.** Julian Wright (84, 22 games) 3.82 **4.** Darrell Arthur (101, 22 games) 4.59 (**_Jumps Collins for No. 4 spot_**) **5.** Sherron Collins (102, 22 games) 4.64 **6.** Russell Robinson (106, 22 games) 4.82 **7.** Sasha Kaun (106, 19 games) 5.58 **8.** Darnell Jackson (137, 22 games) 6.23 **9.** Rodrick Stewart (166, 18 games) 9.22 **10.** Brady Morningstar (93, 10 games) 9.30 **11.** Jeremy Case (114, 12 games) 9.50 **12.** Matt Kleinmann (108, 10 games) 10.80 **13.** Brennan Bechard (90, 7 games) 12.86 **14.** Brad Witherspoon (80, 6 games) 13.33
